Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Houston Chronicle: "Here's a compassionate twist on libraries' never-ending quest to collect overdue book fines.

At Sterling Municipal Library in Baytown, anyone with unpaid late fees can write them off with donations to local food pantries.

Through March, each nonperishable food item counts as $1 toward overdue library fines."

I've been a guest speaker for the Friends of the Sterling Municipal Library. Fine folks, and a fine library.

I was there at the official ground breaking for the library and when it first opened. I guess I really should return those books I checked out when I was in high school.
